Matthew Tkachuk notched the winning goal after 6 minutes in the overtime to secure the Florida Panthers victory against the Boston Bruins 4-3 at TD Garden in Boston, MA, and the teams will travel to Florida for Game 6.

Boston goaltender Linus Ullmark made a mistake in the OT, and exactly Tkachuk, who the Bruins goalie wanted to fight at the end of the previous game, scored for the 2nd win of his team in that 1st round playoff round series in the Eastern Conference.
Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 44 shots for the Panthers, and the Floridian franchise won their second straight match in Boston but lost 2 times on the home turf.
A huge mistake by the Bruins leads to Matthew Tkachuk’s first career playoff overtime goal.
The sellout crowd in Boston is stunned as the series heads to South Florida for Game 6 with the Panthers now down 3-2.
